Hi-ho! It's Number 1 again. You know, lately, maybe due to hunting season (wait, when IS hunting season?) we've seen an influx of deer cakes. Now, sure, the customers got a raw deal with these wrecks, but as an animal-lover I think it's also important to see things from the deer's perspective.

Take this guy. Here he was, minding his own business, when someone came along and punched him in the eye!

Just think of how difficult it must have been for this cross-eyed deer to see his way out of the forest fire:

"My rack! My rack! My rack is on fi-yurrr!"

(Why am I suddenly craving roasted almonds?)

And do you know how hard it is for poor Stumpy here to navigate the forest underbrush on a Roomba?

Frankly, my deer, it sucks.

Our next friend is just swell:

Somebody get Puffy here a Benadryl.

So, the next time you're faced with a wrecky deer cake, don't be so quick to judge. They've been through a lot, what with hunters and fires and allergic reactions and earthquakes and killer bee swarms... so can we just vow to leave these vulnerable deer alone??

Thanks, Marisa W., Terri C., Bonnie, cewest84, and Zephyr! If you ever hoof it over to my side of town, give me a rein! You're all I really caribou, and I promise not to leave you stag! (Not really. Please don't call me.)

I'm not sure what the third one is. It kind of looks like a mouse with odd antlers sticking out of its head, but it also sort of looks like it has a dog nose. Maybe it's the never photographed Shizeeratadoodle.

Ok, my summary of today's offerings:1) Evil weasel with weird background2) Antlers look like that rubber-spike jewelry kids wear3) Poor guy's nose looks like another anatomically correct part (wink wink)4) Forget Puffy! It's a babboon with antlers!!! 5) I'm at a loss as to why a dead dear on a cake is appetizing...why not show one gutted and hanging??? EWWWWWWWWWWW

Puffy had a bit too much plastic surgery. Now his ears are too small for his face, and he had too much collagen injected around his eyes. Yet he could not understand why all the other reindeer laughed and called him names, even Rudolph.

Okay, I grew up in Pennsylvania, where the First Day of The Hunting Season is practically a National Holiday, and I've still got nuttin' to say... But I have to comment - because my wv is so perfect for today's cakes.

I think I should send in my brother's wedding cake. It's actually pretty nice. But it has a doe and buck on it (my brother has a thing for country kitsch as a total joke... speaking of, he even has a cat named Kitsch).

Ummm, "Puffy" was probably purposely puffy because [as people who actually know stufffff about deer would know] necks of bucks [that would be a male deer] swell when they are in rut [mating season]. So, FYI, it probably isn't an allergic reaction. Thanks.

Deer me. The third one looks kinda modern american (Obese) the fourth one looks like steroid abuse has occurred. I can just see the customer pulling up in the jacked 4x4 all cammo'd ( hey this is Florida, I'm surprised they don't come that way at the dealership at this point).... ready to git sum deeeeer cake.

I have a friend that used to deliver FDX packages to the National Institutes of Standards and Technology, whose campus has a large population of deer. A bunch of inbred, tame deer.He said that one day while he was having his lunch in the delivery truck, while still on the campus, one of the deer came up to the truck and tried to beg for the sandwiches.He said it was one of the ugliest cross-eyed deer he's ever seen. Sounds like the model for one of the cakes featured today.

What a waste of a perfectly yummy looking chocolate cake at the end there. I was all for it until the bloody deer on top of it ruined it lol. That for sure would have me quickly running to the ice cream shop and avoiding whatever party this is for. As for that evil CCC.. please someone put it out of its misery.. and chase the wreckerator just for giggles.

What's a Wreck?

What's a Wreck?

A Cake Wreck is any cake that is unintentionally sad, silly, creepy, inappropriate - you name it. A Wreck is not necessarily a poorly-made cake; it's simply one I find funny, for any of a number of reasons. Anyone who has ever smeared frosting on a baked good has made a Wreck at one time or another, so I'm not here to vilify decorators: Cake Wrecks is just about finding the funny in unexpected, sugar-filled places.

Where's the book?

We don’t have any copies of Cake Wrecks for sale here, autographed or otherwise. We decided the shipping and handling costs would be too high to make it worth your while. So instead, buy your copies locally or online and then order personalized bookplates: it’s cheaper, easier, and I think even looks a bit nicer.
